Outdoor Education
Nature is incredible—from the sights it offers, to the remedies it produces and the inspiration it brings. But one thing we love highlighting is its teaching potential! Whether it’s through simple observation or guided learning, we all have so much to gain from nature’s education—and we are here to facilitate exactly that!
If you’re looking for an adventure that goes beyond sightseeing and you’re intrigued by the idea of learning new skills while immersing yourself in breathtaking natural environments, then look no further than our outdoor education course with Evelyn.
Evelyn isn't just a seasoned guide, she's a passionate outdoor educator. With her extensive background in leading teaching and experiential trips for students, as well as the vast knowledge gained in the National Outdoor Leadership School, she will be your perfect partner as you take in all the hands-on experiences that deepen your connection with nature, but also with yourself and others around you.
As part of this experience, you or your group* will have a personalized itinerary that blends exploration with educational activities, catering to your interests and fitness level. Whether you're a curious first-timer or a seasoned adventurer, we’ll craft the perfect program. No matter the size of your group, you can be sure that you’ll get to reap all the benefits that the outdoor setting has to offer—helping you find your inner leader, proliferating teamwork and practical skills, and fostering a deeper understanding of nature and your surroundings.
Some of the benefits you can expect to come across are basic navigation skills while trekking through mountain trails (off trail or on trail), discovering fascinating local flora and fauna during nature walks, or gaining practical knowledge of sustainable practices while exploring diverse ecosystems, all while honing your leadership skills and understanding of the area. Each adventure becomes a learning experience, fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world while creating lasting memories—all while enhancing the bond of the group taking part.

Artist
Residency
Unleash your creativity with us to promote a better tomorrow.
Throughout history, nature has been the spark of inspiration for many of humanity’s great moments—and at Crux, we want to make sure that the stunning vistas we inhabit and visit can serve as the grounds for the work that will make our world a better place tomorrow.
If you’re looking to infuse your residency or research with the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture of Patagonia, we’re here for you! We’ll provide a dedicated workspace, comfortable, off-the-grid living accommodations (with a stunning view at the foot of a mountain and the edge of a lake), and access to local resources. A curated residency will allow you time to travel while also offering dedicated studio hours, allowing you to immerse yourself in the new environment and ignite your creative spark. Simply let us know if you’re interested so we can hash out the details—like location(s), duration, focus, topics, and so on.
Contact us today if you’re looking to embark on your artistic residency adventure!
SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH REFORESTATION
Our planet thrives on healthy forests, and Patagonia is a prime example of that. Forests filter the air we breathe and mitigate climate change, prolonging the time we have to enjoy the beauties of the world unscathed. Sadly, deforestation threatens this delicate balance. At Crux Expeditions, we believe in giving back.
That's why we're proud to support reforestation initiatives by giving every traveler a chance to plant the seeds that will one day grow into the lungs of the world—or to donate to that same cause.
